The Pink Conch Shell Bead Necklace brings a little piece of the Keys to your everyday look. Natural pink conch shell beads graduate from 3mm at the clasp to 14mm at the center, finished with an ethically sourced 14K gold-filled lobster clasp. At 18 inches, it sits right at the collarbone.
Every shell is hand-selected for its color and natural banding, then strung in our Key West studio, so each necklace is one of a kind.
Natural Pink, Straight From the Shell
The soft pink and creamy white tones in this necklace aren't added. They come from the conch shell itself. Because every shell has its own banding and color depth, no two necklaces look exactly alike, and slight color variation from bead to bead is part of the charm.
A Key West Classic
In Key West, the conch is more than a shell. Locals born here are called Conchs, and the island proudly calls itself the Conch Republic. This necklace is part of our Seashell Jewelry Collection, made in our studio in the heart of it all.

Why Graduated Beads
Graduated beads start small near the clasp and grow larger toward the center front. The smaller beads sit comfortably at the back of the neck, while the larger beads frame your face, creating a flattering, balanced shape.
How to Wear a Shell Necklace
On Its Own
Let the pink shell shine with a white linen shirt, a sundress, or a simple swimsuit cover-up.
Layered
Pair it with fine gold chains or other beaded necklaces, like our Hot Pink Opal & Rose Quartz Beaded Candy Necklace, for a colorful coastal stack.
Beach to Dinner
It's easy on beach days and dresses up beautifully for sunset dinners and summer weddings.
